The City Hostel Berlin is a lively and friendly place to stay. The staff was helpful, and the beds made before you arrived. It is well situated for easy access by U-bahn, a few blocks from Checkpoint Charlie and a short walk to the Brandenburg Gate or in the other direction Museum Island. The breakfast was quite good, and filling.

Its a descent place to sleep, especially if you are trying to save money. But as an ex-mochiller that slept in many dormitory hostels around the world I was expecting a bit of a traveler's atmosphere but this hostel was far from that. Most people there are not cool travelers trying to meet new people in the dormitories, their just... More

It's a hostel, so don't expect anything fancy. It was my first time traveling solo, and it was a great experience. I was in Berlin to run the marathon, and the hostel was full of runners (my Spaniard roommates were also runners). It was a 10 minute walk to the start/finish between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory column, and... More

City Hostel of Berlin. 1. Rooms are like basic training. Bunk beds, bathroom and shower are in a separate room like a closet. 2. No towels are available. On their room flyer/instructions states that every person will get a towel, not true. Additional towels require a 1euro deposit. 3. The TV is free but you have to give a 5... More

Thank you for your review. First and important thing: We are a hostel and not a hotel. That is important for the service you get because you are paying the half of a hotel night. 1) Yes, that's how a hostel is working. 2) Every person gets a towel at check-in. And if you need more you have to pay... More

City hostel is a great choice of hostel. The staff is friendly and professional. There are all facilities you may need, including pool table and a great breakfast hall that turns into a bar at night. Always available sandwiches and lighter meals at the reception, and no parties allowed after 22:00. Only flaw is that there are showers and sink... More

This hotel was perfect!. Great location near major attractions, just a block from the metro station. Breakfast is included and huge! It's a buffet with several cheeses, breads, yogurt,milk, coffee, hams, cookies. I went with my brother and my parents and we got a room for four with bathroom, very clean and proper. At first my parents weren't sure about... More

I stayed in this hostel on November and first of all I have to say that Berlin is cold in that season. So you need to turn up the heater to the last level :) The location of the hostel is great you are some minutes away from Checkpoint Charlie for example also you can reach to Brandenburg Tor, Reichstag...
